I'm Andrea sets from Time magazine we're here today with dr. Jane Goodall the renowned primatologist who's known worldwide for her studies of chimpanzees and the Gombe reserved in Tanzania dr. Goodall has written a wonderful new book hope for animals in their world how endangered species are being rescued from the brink dr. Goodall nice to see you good to see you you can touch grew tall in Pune India ask how can you be so empathetic with the chimps I think one is either an empathetic person or not some people are very non caring to other people and some people just seem to care about animals and not people unfortunately I realize learning from the chimpanzees how we are part of the animal kingdom the chimpanzees teaches that there isn't a sharp line dividing us and so the kind of empathy that I feel for people is the kind of empathy that I feel for chimpanzees okay do they have a dark and brutal side to their nature yes so do people and it comes out in the most unexpected situations but by and large chimpanzees show far more frequently tendencies of compassion and empathy and love than they do of violence and brutality which do you like better chimps or humans chimps are so like us that I like some chimpanzees much better than some humans and some humans much better than some chimpanzees is no question How You Kim in Seoul Korea asked what was the most touching moment that in your time with the chimps is there a particular well there are two one was when I was following David Greybeard the first gym to lose his fear following him through the forest in the very early days and he suddenly veered through a very tangley thorny clump of vegetation I was crawling after him and you know getting thorns in my catching my clothes and everything so I gave up I thought all heal had disappeared but when I got through he was sitting as though waiting and so I sat near and there was a write red palm nut on the ground picked it up because chimps love them held it out towards him he turned his face away so I put my hand closer and he turned he looked directly in my eyes he reached out he took the nut he didn't want it he dropped it but he very gently squeezed my hand which is how chimpanzees reassure each other so there was like a communication that probably for us predates words and the other one was when Flo who also lost her fear quite early on she has this little infant who's just learning to walk he's about five months old and she trusts me so much when he taught us towards me and reaches out she doesn't snatch him away like she used to but she just keeps her hand protectively around him and she lets him reach out to touch my nose and this was just so magic specialist Mackenze Baker at camp Tashi in Iraq asks how do you work with so many animals and not get overly attached to them well I've always been very attached to the animals I work with and although a scientist is supposed to be subjective and lacking empathy I've always felt that this is wrong fortunately there's a growing number of other scientists who feel the same and it's the empathy that you feel with an animal not a subject but an animal a living individual being that really helps you to understand the science comes in when you say okay I think because I feel this empathy that that behavior must mean something and then then you can use your scientific training to ask the questions and find out if your intuition is correct what's your position on people who have chimps as pets given the implications for violence such as the woman in Connecticut who chimpanzee attacked her neighbor it's absolutely wrong to have a chimpanzee as a pet or any of the primates for that matter and most other exotic species to chimpanzees yeah, when they're little they're cute and people have been the surrogate children but by the time they reach early adolescence they're already as strong as a human and chimpanzees are completely unpredictable you cannot predict what will trigger a sudden anger or rage and so we're actually the general Institute is fighting very hard for legislation that will prohibit people owning other non-human primates as pets very rare can they give them a good life why should we sell our closest living relatives as a pet it's not a pet it's an individual it's its own way of living and it's not suited to live in our houses now check him in Birmingham Michigan asks you've chosen to spend more time with animals yet you have hope for Humanity what do you see in animals that you don't see in us well that's a kind of loaded question isn't it animals by and large are not destroying their environments although some of them would if they could but they've evolved so there's a natural balance and typically when an animal species starts over populating an area something happens as it used to with humans to bring that down to be in balance with the natural world but now because of modern medicine human populations are spiralling mushrooming out of control so the question I always ask is how does this most intellectual species that's ever walked a planet how is it that we're destroying our only home and I think the disconnect between the clever brain and the seat of love and compassion the human heart and what we have to do is to link the heart with the brain again and let us move forward understanding that this life is about a lot more than just making money and we should not be living for money we need money to live so that's why I'm working so hard with youth to create a critical mass of young people with this philosophy that's my hope for the future
The fact that you cannot accept a fact is not making you sophisticated. We observe nature. Your view has nothing to do with reality. You cannot see the world as you are, but as it is.
Although some of her talk is reasonable, I cannot accept comparing human being with chimpanzee. Human being is more sophisticated and none of the animals can be like us in thinking or perceiving !!

I'm Andrea sets from Time magazine we're
here today with dr. Jane Goodall the
renowned primatologist who's known
worldwide for her studies of chimpanzees
and the Gombe reserved in Tanzania dr.
Goodall has written a wonderful new book
hope for animals in their world how
endangered species are being rescued
from the brink dr. Goodall nice to see
you
good to see you
you can touch grew tall in Pune India
ask how can you be so empathetic with
the chimps
I think one is either an
empathetic person or not some people are
very non caring to other people and some
people just seem to care about animals
and not people unfortunately I realize
learning from the chimpanzees how we are
part of the animal kingdom the
chimpanzees teaches that there isn't a
sharp line dividing us and so the kind
of empathy that I feel for people is the
kind of empathy that I feel for
chimpanzees okay do they have a dark and
brutal side to their nature yes so do
people and it comes out in the most
unexpected situations but by and large
chimpanzees show far more frequently
tendencies of compassion and empathy and
love than they do of violence and
brutality
which do you like better
chimps or humans
chimps are so like us
that I like some chimpanzees much better
than some humans and some humans much
better than some chimpanzees is no
question
How You Kim in Seoul Korea
asked what was the most touching moment
that in your time with the chimps is
there a particular
well there are two
one was when I was following David
Greybeard the first gym to lose his fear
following him through the forest in the
very early days and he suddenly veered
through a very tangley thorny clump of
vegetation I was crawling after him and
you know getting thorns in my catching
my clothes and everything so I gave up I
thought all heal had disappeared
but when I got through he was sitting as
though waiting and so I sat near
and there was a write red palm nut on
the ground picked it up because chimps
love them held it out towards him he
turned his face away so I put my hand
closer and he turned he looked directly
in my eyes he reached out he took the
nut he didn't want it he dropped it but
he very gently squeezed my hand which is
how chimpanzees reassure each other so
there was like a communication that
probably for us predates words and the
other one was when Flo who also lost her
fear quite early on she has this little
infant who's just learning to walk he's
about five months old and she trusts me
so much when he taught us towards me and
reaches out she doesn't snatch him away
like she used to but she just keeps her
hand protectively around him and she
lets him reach out to touch my nose and
this was just so magic
specialist Mackenze Baker at camp Tashi in Iraq
asks how do you work with so many
animals and not get overly attached to
them
well I've always been very attached
to the animals I work with and although
a scientist is supposed to be subjective
and lacking empathy I've always felt
that this is wrong
fortunately there's a growing number of
other scientists who feel the same and
it's the empathy that you feel with an
animal not a subject but an animal a
living individual being that really
helps you to understand the science
comes in when you say okay I think
because I feel this empathy that that
behavior must mean something and then
then you can use your scientific
training to ask the questions and find
out if your intuition is correct
what's
your position on people who have chimps
as pets given the implications for
violence such as the woman in
Connecticut who chimpanzee attacked her
neighbor
it's absolutely wrong to have a
chimpanzee as a pet or any of the
primates for that matter and most other
exotic species to chimpanzees yeah, when
they're little they're cute
and people have been the surrogate
children but by the time they reach
early adolescence they're already as
strong as a human and chimpanzees are
completely unpredictable you cannot
predict what will trigger a sudden anger
or rage and so we're actually the
general Institute is fighting very hard
for legislation that will prohibit
people owning other non-human primates
as pets very rare can they give them a
good life why should we sell our closest
living relatives as a pet it's not a pet
it's an individual it's its own way of
living and it's not suited to live in
our houses
now check him in Birmingham Michigan
asks you've chosen to spend more time
with animals yet you have hope for
Humanity what do you see in animals that
you don't see in us
well that's a kind
of loaded question isn't it
animals by and large are not destroying
their environments although some of them
would if they could
but they've evolved so there's a natural
balance and typically when an animal
species starts over populating an area
something happens as it used to with
humans to bring that down to be in
balance with the natural world but now
because of modern medicine human
populations are spiralling mushrooming
out of control so the question I always
ask is how does this most intellectual
species that's ever walked a planet how
is it that we're destroying our only
home and I think the disconnect between
the clever brain and the seat of love
and compassion the human heart and what
we have to do is to link the heart with
the brain again and let us move forward
understanding that this life is about a
lot more than just making money and we
should not be living for money we need
money to live so that's why I'm working
so hard with youth
to create a critical mass of young
people with this philosophy that's my
hope for the future
Quiero que sepas que me has ayudado. Muchas gracias 🙌
